Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 1971 Grammy Awards. The Winner that year was Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel.
One of the first albums in my collection. Your Song and Border Song are classics. Sixty Years On, The Greatest Discovery and First Episode at Hienton are masterpieces of songwriting. A beautiful, mellow album by one of the truly great songwriters and also a Royal Academy trained pianist. These days John plays a lot more piano solos, but back in 1970 his vocals were in very good fettle.
Aunque quizás sea Goodbye Yellow Brick Road el disco más popular de Elton John, su segundo álbum es, al menos, tan brillante como aquel.
I feel like this album really captures the essence of Elton John's music: Beautiful, thoughtful and dramatic all at once. Some classic songs can be found here, but I prefer the complexity and depth from the lesser known tracks and B-sides.
Overall, an elegant and sensitive record from one of rock music's greatest.
Strong early release. Contains many gems - which are stand-outs in his large catalogue.
Elton John's second album is probably his most intimate of his early records. Predominately piano ballads with a sprinkling of orchestration, it's certainly not a rock'n'roll album. Some nice songs; obviously, your song, is one of Elton's most famous songs, a lovely track. Elsewhere, there's, take me to the pilot, border song, and the king must die. A good record.
Best Track: Border Song

Your Song may be one of the best songs I haven't heard in a long time...
A relatively forgotten classic. A few weak tracks, but so much beautiful music on here, Elton's debut would easily make my top 100. Highlights: "Sixty Years On," "King," "Border Song," and "Pilot. And, of course, "Your Song" is one of the prettiest love songs ever. Rating based on original release (without last three songs).
There are so many beautiful songs on this one.
